Belfast Harbour has officially launched a public consultation on plans for the residential development of Clarendon Wharf, part of its ongoing efforts to transform the city’s waterfront.

First announced in September, the plans propose a sustainable, vibrant, and connected city centre neighbourhood, featuring up to 600 homes, including social and affordable housing. The development will also include cafes, shops, leisure and community spaces, a hotel, and an aparthotel, alongside more than 10 acres of public realm within the Harbour Estate.

The project aims to revitalise an underused section of the waterfront, restoring the historic dry docks and creating new walking and cycling routes, a public square, and streets reconnecting the waterfront to the city centre and surrounding communities.

Belfast Harbour is hosting a public consultation event at City Quays 3, Clarendon Road, BT1 3FE on Thursday 6 November, from 3pm to 9pm, inviting tenants, neighbours, and other interested parties to view the proposals and provide feedback. Responses can also be submitted online over the next four weeks via www.clarendonwharfconsultation.com.

The development of Clarendon Wharf is a key milestone in Belfast Harbour's 'Advance Regional Prosperity' Strategy 2025-29, in which it aims to create sustainable and inclusive places to live and work, and act as a catalyst for the city's growth. As a Trust Port, Belfast Harbour reinvests all post-tax profits into the port and Harbour Estate and has already invested £130m into the regeneration of the city's waterfront through its landmark City Quays development.

Clarendon Wharf marks the next phase in this transformation and is also a key project in Belfast Harbour's draft 2050 Masterplan, which will open to public consultation on the 19th of November for a period of 8 weeks.
